Tamiya 70118 Triangle Plastic Rods 5mm Pack of 5  [70118]

Multiuse 5mm Triangle Beam Pack

The Tamiya 70118 plastic beam set comes with five triangular rods, all 5mm thick and 40cm in length. These pieces suit a wide range of modelling tasks from strengthening RC mounts to bespoke fabrication jobs. They give a uniform material option for modders who cut and adapt parts on the bench.

Uses in RC Fabrication

These beams work well for fabricating bespoke chassis sections or adding reinforcement to stressed areas of RC models. The triangular profile helps distribute loads and resists bending, which appeals to builders focused on functional upgrades. They are straightforward to work with using hand tools or hobby saws.

Scale Modelling and Educational Projects

Beyond RC, these beams are handy for scale model frameworks and school projects that need rigid, lightweight structural elements. When used in RC builds they provide neat, tidy support for custom bodywork and reinforce vulnerable joints for more reliable performance during regular use.
